Synopsis

This mystery from one of America's best-loved writers features one of the greatest fictional detectives of all time--Nero Wolfe. Wolfe is an orchid-growing, gourmandizing, demanding genius who solves most cases with the able assistance of his legman, Archie Goodwin.

When a baby is abandoned on the doorstep of a young socialite widow, the woman thinks she knows the identity of the father: her deceased writer husband, the cad! But who is the mother? Reluctantly, Nero Wolfe accepts the case, and Archie identifies the first clue: unusual buttons on the baby's overalls.
